Effect of Six-Week Speed Endurance Training on Peripheral Fatigue Open
(1) Speed endurance training (inducing a high blood lactate concentration) delays excitation–contraction coupling impairment, thus providing more space for high-frequency fatigue to occur in the early stage of maximal concentric actions. T…
Influence of an Acute Exposure to a Moderate Real Altitude on Motoneuron Pool Excitability and Jumping Performance Open
The aim of the study was to test whether ascending to a moderate real altitude affects motoneuron pool excitability at rest, as expressed by a change in the H-reflex amplitude, and also to elucidate whether a possible alteration in the mot…
Electromyographic Comparison of an Abdominal Rise on a Ball with a Traditional Crunch Open
We propose a new exercise, the abdominal rise on the ball, to replace the traditional crunch in exercise programs. The aim of this study is to compare the activity of the abdominal muscles when performing an ARB with the same activity when…
Tip D ličnosti i rizik od koronarne bolesti srca u pretilih pacijenata Open

Neuromuscular Adaptations after an Altitude Training Camp in Elite Judo Athletes Open
The aim of this study was to investigate neuromuscular adaptations in elite judo athletes after three weeks of power-oriented strength training at terrestrial altitude (2320 m). Nineteen men were assigned to altitude training (AL) (22.1 ± …
Impact of aerobic exercise on clinical and magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers in persons with multiple sclerosis: An exploratory randomized controlled trial Open
These results suggest that aerobic exercise in persons with multiple sclerosis has a positive effect on the volume of some of the substructures of the brain, possibly indicating a slowing of the neurodegenerative process in these regions, …
